My Son Is My Strength
Weird Offer

Arini walked to the cafe where he worked, he walked because the distance between the campus and the cafe was quite close.

He went to the cafe not to work, but to borrow money from his boss. As Dian advised.

Arriving there, he immediately faced his boss' room. However, before that Arini sighed for a moment, then knocked on the door. Until she heard a voice telling her to come in, Arini began to step her foot into the room.

Boss Arini frowned, a sign he was confused. Seeing who came to his room was Arini, because Arini would only come when he received his salary. But, right now is not the time for Arini to receive his salary. So, why did Arini come to his room? He monologues himself in his heart.

"Excuse me sir." Sapa Arini starts the conversation, and restores her boss's consciousness.

"Yes, what is Arini?" ask boss Arini while frowning again his forehead.

"I want to borrow money sir, three hundred million." Arini replied while looking down deeply.

"What... three hundred million?!" asked his boss in a high voice in shock, hearing the nominal mentioned by Arini.

"I. yes, sir." Arini answered nervously and looked down deeper and deeper, hearing her boss's screams.

"Three hundred million, that's not Arini's little money. That's a lot of money. The benefits of a five-month cafe, even a year, are not that much. I can't lend you that money, because I don't have that kind of money. Borrow it to someone else. "Tell the boss, give understanding to Arini.

"But, Sir." Arini. "My mother had to have surgery. And I don't have any more acquaintances here, for me to borrow money." Arini answered looking into her boss's pleading eyes, squeezing her fingers.

"It's not that I don't want to help Arini, but I really don't have that kind of money, so try to understand. And now please get out of my room, I have a lot of work." Said the boss trying to give understanding once again, and drove Arini because now his work is piling up.

"But Pak--" Arini's words were cut off by the boss's voice.

"That's it. I told you I don't have that kind of money, how many times do I say it, Arini? I'm a lot of work now, help you out!" said the boss while leading Arini to the door to get out, it looks like he began to lazily argue.

"But Sir... Mr." Arini called out to her boss while sneaking around, knocking on the door of the room repeatedly.

Without Arini knowing. The cafe visitors who were there frowned, saw the behavior of Arini who was circulating, knocking on the door of the cafe owner's room repeatedly with tears that had soaked his cheeks.

One of the cafe visitors looked at Arini, then revealed a smile that could not be interpreted.

The man ordered his subordinates to enter the room of the owner of this cafe, and asked what had happened to the girl who was now sitting in one of the cafe visitor chairs.

It didn't take long, the subordinates that were told to have already returned. Telling all what he heard from the owner of the cafe to his boss.

His superior smiled, an indescribable smile for anyone who saw him. He ordered his subordinates to carry out one more task. Then he stood up, looked at the crying girl for a while and walked away. Get out of the cafe.

The subordinate scrunched his forehead, a sign he was confused. But he did not take a headache and still carry out the tasks given by his superiors.

He walked over to the girl who had just come out of the room of the owner of this cafe, who was none other than Arini.

"May I sit down, Miss?" ask the subordinate earlier to Arini.

Arini looked up, then nodded. The sign agreed and allowed the man who greeted her just now to sit at a table with her. He wanted to ban it, but this is a public chair, anyone can occupy it.

"If I may know, why are you crying?" ask the subordinate earlier, pretending not to know. He knew everything from the cafe owner.

Arini did not respond, though she heard the man's voice ask her. He was focusing on his own mind, how could he earn money for his mother's surgery? That's what Arini's thinking right now.

Feeling neglected, the subordinate was irritated, because only this time there were people who ignored him. He wanted to leave and not take care of the girl's personal affairs. But, how else. This is an order from his superiors.

"Sorry, Miss. I'm talking to you!" reprimanded the subordinate felt already very irritated.

"It's no business, you." Answer Arini briefly.

However, he paused considering this was an order from his superior. Until that comes out of his mouth...

"Yes, this is none of my business. But, I can take you out of this business." Said the subordinate earlier, while looking at Arini's eyes which were now also looking into his eyes.

"Did I hear wrong?" arini asked reassuringly that her hearing just now was correct, while wiping away her tears that kept flowing.

"Yes... You didn't hear wrong." Answer the subordinate. "I see you're in need of money, huh?" he continued, by asking.

"Why do you know?" asked Arini again, still by removing the remains of her tears.

"I see from the look on your face, that you're in need of money for something important, right?" replied the subordinate, as well as asking back to Arini.

"Yes, I'm in need of money for my mother's operation in J's village." Arini answered honestly to the man.

"I'll help you to pay for your sick mother's surgery there, and if I may know in which hospital, on whose behalf?" said the subordinate and asked which hospital Arini's mother was in.

"Hospital of hope of the nation, in the village of J, on behalf of Syahra's mother Kurniawan." Answer Arini.

"Good." Said the subordinate while nodding, a sign he knew in which hospital this girl's mother was in.

"I can help you, but there's a condition." Further again.

Arini knitted her brows, then asked the man. "Terms, what's the condition?" asked Arini impatiently.

"The condition is, you must be my superior's maid for an entire day." Answer the subordinate.

"Being maid? Just one full day?" tanya Arini did not believe.

"Yes." Yeah." The subordinate's answer was short, dense, and clear.

"Keep, what should I do?" ask Arini again.

"All you have to do is work like a maid usually, do I need to explain what the maid does?" answer that subordinate. "And follow all that my superiors command." Further again.

Arini scrunched her forehead, hearing the man's last sentence. But he did not take it for granted, what he had in mind now was only the cost of his mother's surgery. Yeah, that's all. The matter of this strange offer, he did not care much about it. Just being a maid for a day what's the trouble? Thought Arini.

"So how? Do you agree with my offer?" ask the guy, make sure. Because there has been no agreement since.

"Yes." Yeah." An Arini replied nodding quickly, without thinking twice about her decision.

"Okay, then follow me." Said the subordinate while standing up and passed away from the cafe where Arini worked.

Without asking and being told twice, Arini got up from her seat and followed the man. Maybe he'll ask her for a second, where she'll be taken away. Thought Arini.
